Pass OCM Java first time or train again for free. This is our guarantee. We’re confident you’ll pass your course first time. But if not, come back within a year and only pay for accommodation, exams and incidental costs

You’ll learn more. A day with a traditional training provider generally runs from 9am – 5pm, with a nice long break for lunch. With Firebrand Training you’ll get at least 12 hours/day quality learning time, with your instructor

You’ll learn OCM Java faster. Chances are, you’ll have a different learning style to those around you. We combine visual, auditory and tactile styles to deliver the material in a way that ensures you will learn faster and more easily

You’ll be studying OCM Java with the best. We’ve been named in Training Industry’s “Top 20 IT Training Companies of the Year” every year since 2010. As well as winning many more awards, we’ve trained and certified 70.652 professionals, and we’re partners with all of the big names in the business

You'll do more than study Firebrand's courseware. We use practical exercises to make sure you can apply your new knowledge to the work environment. Our instructors use demonstrations and real-world experience to keep the day interesting and engaging

By taking this course, participants gain an understanding of the technical context of the Java EE and relevant technologies, and strategies needed to create application blueprints that work well when implementing Java EE technologies. These strategies include effective decision making through the use of systemic qualities (such as scalability and flexibility), Java EE technology blueprints and design patterns.

Upon completion of this course, students should be able to

Make good use of Java EE component technologies to solve typical problems in system architecture

Derive software systems using techniques outlined in the Java EE Blueprint and solutions defined in the Java EE Patterns catalogue

Students who can benefit from this course are those who are responsible for the overall software architecture and design of Java EE technology-based enterprise software systems. These students would also require insight into the role of the enterprise architect and want to use Java EE technologies in n-tier enterprise systems. Existing architects can also benefit from an understanding of how to use Java EE technologies to improve quality of service in their enterprise systems.

Other accelerated training providers rely heavily on lecture and independent self-testing and study.

Effective technical instruction must be highly varied and interactive to keep attention levels high, promote camaraderie and teamwork between the students and instructor, and solidify knowledge through hands-on learning.

Firebrand Training provides instruction to meet every learning need:

Intensive group instruction

One-on-one instruction attention

Hands-on labs

Lab partner and group exercises

Question and answer drills

Independent study

Benefits of certification determined through studies do not guarantee any particular personal successes.

Module 9 - Evaluating the Software Architecture

Day 4

Java EE 6 Enterprise Architect Certified Master Exam (1Z0-807)

Days 5-6

Assignment

The assignment requires that you architect a solution for a small but plausible business system. To keep the amount of work involved to a reasonable level, the programs you create will be much more restricted in capability, and much cruder in overall presentation, than anything you would actually create for a paying customer. However, the essence of the problem will be the same. You will be graded on correctly solving the technical and performance requirements, not on the "polish" of the finished product.

This is completed outside of the course, and you will need to arrange and pay for this assignment directly with Oracle. On completion of the assignment, you will also be able to complete the following essay:

"As a novice I have learnt a lot and found out a lot of interesting tips that I can now build on and use to achieve more qualifications." Selina Flowers, NG. - Oracle OCP Java SE 8 Programmer (4 days) (27/11/2018 to 30/11/2018)

"This is my third course with Firebrand and each time, its been an enriching experience. Though I found that I was out of my depth in the OCA/OCPJP course, the instructor was extremely patient, provided excellent tutelage, and encouraged me to continue pursing the qualifications. He helped me plan a good course of attack in terms of what other courses I can take to prepare for my eventual retake of OCA/OCPJP and also what things I can do in my spare time to really come to grips with Java as a programming language.
That is the beauty of these courses. Extreme in their preparation but even if you don't get the qualification first time, you never walk away empty handed. I feel even more confident that when I return in a few months time, I will pass the OCA and possibly the OCPJP and I have absolutely brilliant instructors - to thank for that, in due course." Joseph Guthrie. - Sun Certified Associate (OCA) Java SE 7 & Professional Java SE 7 Programmer Certification (OCPJP) (6 days) (5/10/2015 to 10/10/2015)

" Richard Sedgwick. - Oracle Administrator Certified Professional & Associate 11g (OCP & OCA 11g Rev. 2) (8 days) (4/9/2011 to 11/9/2011)

"I had a very intensive boot camp week together with a good crowd of colleague pupils and a great teacher.
We worked (the teacher, too!) about 15 hours every day.
I could never have achieved this level of understanding, and conformance with the way the exams were built, on my own.
It wasn't cheap, but it was worth every penny." Henrik Gillingstam, B3IT Consulting AB. - Oracle Administrator Certified Professional & Associate 11g (OCP & OCA 11g Rev. 2) (8 days) (8/5/2011 to 15/5/2011)

A. - Oracle Administrator Certified Professional & Associate 11g (OCP & OCA 11g Rev. 2) (8 days) (8/5/2011 to 15/5/2011)

Its certainly very intensive but there is a lot to be said for total immersion - it certainly brings you up to speed very quickly and fires your enthusiasm."

The pace of this course is very very intense." K.H. - Oracle Administrator Certified Professional & Associate 10g (OCP & OCA 10g) (8 days) (7/6/2009 to 14/6/2009)

"There were four people on the course and it was pretty intensive. The instructor to student ratio was perfect and enable to get enough instructor time. It was very long hours and additional studying in your rooms. It's a full on course and worth while doing, assuming you can keep awake." S.H, no one. - Oracle Administrator Certified Professional & Associate 10g (OCP & OCA 10g) (8 days) (7/6/2009 to 14/6/2009)

"An effective, if somewhat expensive, learning experience greatly enhanced by the excellent quality of tuition from an extremely knowledgeable and experienced tutor. Hard work and long hours (but that's what we'd expect anyway on a course like this!) pay off when given proper direction and focus, which is what Firebrand Training offers. A thoroughly useful and, dare I say, enjoyable experience which I have no hesitation in recommending to others considering this course."

Paul Roberts. - Oracle Administrator Certified Professional & Associate 10g (OCP & OCA 10g) (8 days) (28/7/2008 to 3/8/2008)

I will certainly consider coming back for another course. Please keep up the good work!" Christian Sage. - Oracle Administrator Certified Professional & Associate 10g (OCP & OCA 10g) (8 days) (28/4/2008 to 4/5/2008)

"Very efficient preparation to Certification, enjoyed the stay despite long hours all week (8h-24h). No distraction at all, good equipment, open WLAN for use with own PC. Clearly recommend this to anybody who wants to get certified in the shortest time possible. However, not appropriate for beginners, take the specified prerequisites serious." WM, EDS. - Oracle Administrator Certified Professional & Associate 10g (OCP & OCA 10g) (8 days) (4/2/2008 to 10/2/2008)
